Like most professional golfers, I have a tendency to remember my poor shots a shade more vividly than the good ones.
This is a game of misses. The guy who misses the best is going to win.
When I practiced, I practiced to get it right.
You never fight your eye when you look at a hole. If it looks one way, play it that way. Don't make a big deal out of an easy shot.
Selecting a stroke is like selecting a wife. To each his own.
